Lilly Book 3
Recovering
from the latest family trauma has made the Montiago family wake up to
the fact that their priorities have definitely been misplaced. With
Max throwing himself into the depths of his work as an FBI operative,
he inadvertently sends the wrong message to his wife and brothers. In
Relatively Close, the third book of the series, Lilly fights for the
attention of her husband, until it becomes painfully clear that she
is up against a mistress way more powerful than the ones she has
fought before. Keeping it relatively close is something with which
Lilly is way too familiar. She turns her attentions to another, only
to find out that the reality of the business, which has kept her
dripping in diamonds and living in mansions, is nothing more than an
ugly reminder of El Diablo anda suelto: The devil running loose.

GUEST POST
Guest Post
Hijacked by a Character
Did Lilly decide
on her own to get mixed up in organized crime and have a love life
that can only be envied? Yes. Yes, she did. I started my story with
the intent of writing about my life. No, I am not a Mafia princess,
and I barely had any contact with Mafia-related people at all
(wink). Imagine my surprise when Lilly turned a corner and became her
very own person, running wild and finding love in the most unexpected
nooks and crannies. Before I knew what happened, Lilly was a hot
mess, and I had no idea how to get her out of her very sticky
situations.
Then came Max. He created himself, and
out of nowhere, he became a knight in shining armor. Or was he…?
Only time will tell, but I digress. Lilly and Max came along and
completely highjacked my story. Not that I am mad at them for it. It
was an amazing ride, and if I am perfectly honest, I miss that crazy,
Montiago family. Between Junior trying to keep his integrity in
check, despite his inability to feel remorse, and Lilly trying to
grow and become her own woman, that family has been through the
trenches. Organized crime will never be the same. Is love worth dying
for? You be the judge.
